She's from Manchester way, blunt as you like, good turn of phrase and funny as hell. And she's learned a lot about elite sport, the bridge from amateur to professional, and the difficulty in holding it all together. And she's so chilled out that she kicked back with Geoff and Adam at the ground in Hove just a couple of hours before taking on against Australia. On today's episode we also cover Ireland's fast-forward debut at Lord's, the Australia v Australia warm-up at Southampton, Meg Lanning's record-breaking hundred, and the Ashes squads for both men's sides.

yes7: The Final Word with Felix White & Barney Douglas7: The Final Word with Felix White & Barney DouglasThe Edge is a new documentary about the urge to be the best in the world, and the human toll it can take to get there. Barney Douglas toured with the England team from their humiliation in the West Indies in 2009, through their gruelling years of training before winning in Australia in 2011, then their eventual collapse in Australia in 2013. He used his trove of archival footage along with new interviews to bring the story to life. Then he teamed up with Felix White, of the Tailenders cricket podcast and the Maccabees band, to write the score. Together they've produced a beautiful look at human strength and weakness through the lens of cricket, and they sat down to share that process with us.

We all know what happened in the World Cup final. But the day before that, before everyone was consumed with euphoria or sadness, we spoke to everyone we could find about the tournament they had experienced. Here is New Zealand's voice of cricket Bryan Waddle, ESPN Cricinfo's Melinda Farrell, Wisden editor Lawrence Booth, Kiwi captain Jeremy Coney, Cricbuzz writers Vithushan Ehantharajah and Bharat Sundaresan, photographer Stu Forster, Guardian newsbreaker Ali Martin, and the World Cup's managing director Steve Elworthy.

clean2: The Final Word with Jimmy Neesham2: The Final Word with Jimmy NeeshamNot many international cricketers are more famous for their internet jokes, but maybe there's one. Jimmy Neesham thinks over the nature of humour and whether to tweet like Sachin. But there's also a much more serious side, one that made him hate himself when his cricket wasn't perfect. It's been a tough few years for a player who has fought his way back to form in time for a World Cup. Conflict can rage in the one person. Jimmy Neesham isn't afraid to be honest about it.

Glenn Maxwell, on the eve of a World Cup in which he's one of the biggest stars, took a moment out to sit down with Adam and Geoff in a Bristol garden, take a breath, and take stock of his life so far.

"You want to show people that you're a real person, and not just a 20-foot flag outside the MCG."

"If my career ended tomorrow I'd be ok. I'd be able to find other avenues in my life where I'd still get the same joy."

"I don't understand how I'm able to hit sixes."

"That was literally everything I could have dreamed of as a kid, happening in front of my eyes."

Funny, generous, and thoughtful, this is a cricketer who everyone has watched, showing a side that not many people would have got to know.

yes20: The issues edition20: The issues editionSexuality, drugs, gender politics and criminal convictions. It's been a heavy week in cricket. James Faulkner caused a stir when people thought he'd come out as gay. Australia's best women players became a casualty of negotiations over the men's team. County cricketer Alex Hepburn was sentenced to five years in prison, while England booted a player from their World Cup squad for drug use. This episode couldn't wait, so Geoff and Adam did their best to untangle some of the above.

yes19: The Final Word with Ian Chappell19: The Final Word with Ian ChappellCatalyst. Author. Agitator. Commentator. Antagonist. Ian Chappell led Australia during the Test team's most iconic era, that of Lillee and Thompson. He took on Don Bradman and blew up the establishment. He rejects being associated with on-field aggression, and his sense of compassion led him to some unexpected post-career political action. Never afraid to say exactly what's on his mind, Ian sits down with The Final Word to talk about all of the above.

Cricket writer Vithushan Ehantharajah joins them to run the rule over that squad, including the nearly-there situation of Jofra Archer, and then sticks around for a game of Nerd Pledge. Then it's time to look at what Australia and India are planning. We promise other teams will follow in the weeks to come.

But the black ties are on for the annual Wisden dinner to celebrate the launch of another mighty Almanack. For 156 years Wisden has been cricket's authority, and for the first of those years, editor Lawrence Booth sits down with Geoff and Adam to talk through the new issue, including the news that Geoff was awarded Book of the Year for his publication Steve Smith's Men.

yes16: The Final Word with Wil Anderson16: The Final Word with Wil AndersonIt's hard growing up in Gippsland with a country cricket legend for a Dad. But Australian comedian Wil Anderson still adores the game regardless, a feeling that has only been strengthened by years in distant countries. Mainly because the timezones are good for cable. Wil joins the Final Word to talk about life on the road, keeping safe what you love, when cricket becomes an affair, and how Matthew Hayden felt about a certain cover song.

Adam and Geoff also go through Australia's ODI series win over Pakistan, happenings in the IPL, England's response to the Buttler-Ashwin run-out, and have time for a bumper round of Nerd Pledge, the new game invented by subscribers on the Patreon page: patreon.com/thefinalword

Another day, another run-out of the non-striker causing worldwide debate. Geoff and Adam plough into the tale of the dismissal: where it comes from, how the Laws have evolved, and why it causes such a response, as well as Vinoo Mankad's place in history and how easily it gets obscured. Then we cover off the Sheffield Shield season, a year since the sandpaper saga, the historical versus practical considerations of numbering Test uniforms, and plenty more.

One-day cricket once again rules the land, as Australia's men complete a crazy comeback in India, and the women sweep New Zealand for the 20th year in a row. Adam and Geoff cover the 50-over action, World Cup ramifications, and whether there's space for batsmen returning from bans, as well as looking over Shane Warne's big ideas for the future from the MCC Cricket Committee, and Kane Williamson's refusal to stop thrashing Bangladesh.

yes13: The Final Word with Urthboy13: The Final Word with UrthboyIn 2015 Urthboy released a song commemorating Phillip Hughes, in an unlikely crossover between cricket and hip-hop. A founding member of record label Elefant Traks and band The Herd, Urthboy has become one of Australia's most respected songwriters. His wide-ranging Final Word conversation looks at the crossover between sport and art: as conduits for grief, stages for coming of age, means of representation, as well as sharing stories from the synthetic wickets and live gigs of the 1980s Blue Mountains.

The Ashes are a long way away. In the meantime it's white-ball season, with the Australian men's team going to India and the women tackling New Zealand in the Rose Bowl. Oh, and England got smashed by the West Indies again.
